	Exported?  No.  

	Why not "save" the messages to a file.  This will save the
entire message (header included) into a file as is.  This means, of
course, that if the attachments were MIME attachments they will still
be MIME.  Pine is not configurable to convert between MIME formated and
uuencoded messages.

	No, not in the current release.
